My torch collection, actually I've added a Solarforce Masterpiece Pro-1 Monster Thrower since I took this picture.

Do you like torches? I bought a 1000+ lumen Maglite from a guy in the States who mods them himself in his home workshop, here: FS: 1000 Lumen XM-L T6 Maglite Mod With Voltage Monitor - Parts, or Complete Light!

It's nuts but it makes sense, especially a used bike off eBay as a donor.

Thanks for all your replies. I am definitely thinking of conversion. It makes no sense really when people like Woosh are doing a whole bike so cheaply, but I love my Giant, or I'd end up with two bikes in my tiny shed. So.........bit of a learning curve ahead, I need to learn how to...

They are cable. They are Shimano EZ Fire 50 24 speed shifters. Here is a picture that looks very similar to my shifters: What is so bad about not connecting them? Apart from crashing into a tree at 15.5 mph of course. Surely if you are not peddling then the pedelec is not being...

I'm thinking about converting my Giant CRS. The brake levers are part of the gear shifters. Is it OK to just not bother connecting the brake lever cut-offs that come with kits?
